If you look on the Disney website it shows TBD for a lot of the dates, Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray said they will be there on Twitter but does not say when, I just know I will miss themSo if there is a date that is not listed, does that mean there will be a lesser known acts?

I would love to see Sugar Ray! Fingers crossed they are one of the missing end of November dates.If you look on the Disney website it shows TBD for a lot of the dates, Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray said they will be there on Twitter but does not say when, I just know I will miss them
I might be able to go to Food and Wine this year for the first time and am wondering if there is any collective wisdom from the boards on how to prep for and tour the event. I've read the various tips and tricks on the Disney sites but to me it's very basic stuff for Disney first timers like 'make a plan', 'be hungry', and 'drink water in extreme heat'.
Earlier this thread someone said to bring cash in case machines go down, that's a good example of something I'm thinking of.
For my part, I've only been at Epcot during other festivals but one experience I had was during rain, even light drizzle, the booths were practically deserted as nobody seemed to be ready to handle food in the rain. I brought a small tupperware and takeout box with me and was able to collect food from multiple booths with no lines and then find somewhere under cover to eat.
So, any real veteran tips on what to bring with you, what to wear, how to handle food dishes and drinks with only two hands, etc?
Odd one here along with cash and wristlet thoughts. I was there during F&G this year and after the horrible rain storm on Easter Sunday, the cash registers could not scan the wristlet. You could pay in cash, you could use any card that you could slide, even a Disney gift card that had a strip on it. Monday only one CM knew that you could key in the number on the card, I told another one at a different booth and everyone at the booth swore up and down it wasn't possible (I knew it was). I went to another booth and at first they said they couldn't take the card, then I told them they could key in the number, out came the big ole notebook and it took 3 CMs but they got it figured out. By Tues, the registers still weren't able to scan the wristlet but all the CMs had been either told or taught how to key it in. Moral of the story, have at least two methods to pay. I had a regular cc with me but I did not want a bunch of $5 charges on it and I had put $300 on the card specifically for F&G. This was only a problem at the F&G food booths, the stores and restaurants had no problem scanning the card.
You don't have to line up hours before the concerts if you are o.k. with standing the back or even sitting at the American Pavilion. You can still hear the bands and even see them and don't have to sit in the sun waiting or pay more for a meal. If you need covered seats, then yes, buy the meal.
I take re-usable plastic utensils and just wipe them off with a napkin when I'm done, wrap another napkin around them and stick them in my bag or pocket. Lots of times the booths will run out of forks or knives or spoons right when you need one.
Not bad. But be aware that like any day (weekday or weekend) the booth lines get busier in the evening. During past festivals, during the weekdays, our waits have ranged from nobody in line ahead of us to as long as ten or so minutesFor those who have been before - what are the lines like at the booths for a weekday?
Last September, which was slow overall in WDW, we went on a Tuesday, and it the lines were ridiculously long. Now, I should note that it was the day Space 220 opened, and the ratatouille ride was doing a soft open for CMs and their families, dvc owners, club 33 members, military families, theravada Buddhists, people with teens, people with babies, people with teens who had babies, and anyone whose name began with a letter between D and L. I was not one of those people, but seemed like everyone else there was a) clogging up the F&W lines, and b) getting ready for a trackless rodent romp. Also, it was also pretty close to the kickoff of the 50th Anniversary. All that's to say that it could have been an anomaly, but I distinctly remember feeling like those lines just moved real slow, and that was without anyone using snack credits which can sometimes explain delays at the register.For those who have been before - what are the lines like at the booths for a weekday?
